It's possible to promote communism while simultaneously not promoting China, North Korea or such states as desirable examples.
Bro, do you have any idea how many undesirables we can eliminate?
/S
They are promoting authoritarian governments with shit human rights records. The opposite of what communism and socialism are.
It's not the promoting of communism that makes them suck; it's the promotion of authoritarian ideals disguised as communism.
Yes. I know the "not real communism" thing is a bit of a meme, but tankies are actually just fascists.
Also the genocide denial
I think much of Beehaw is heavily leftist. I don't think many here are specifically against communism and recognize that there are governments abusing it and their power. With the government siding with the people over corporations being the core reason for Anti-Capitalists, my experience Tankies are no different in that regard. It's the same breed of fascism that failed Capitalism, Communism, and Socialism. i.e. Authoritarian Mass Murderers.
There is no defending that. Full stop. And that is why Tankies are bad, just like Alt-Right Capitalist Religious Fascism. They are celebrating the exact same thing for their version of the exact same results. I can't really see how acknowledging this is anti-communist, I would argue it's quite the opposite since they are inherently a threat to it, given the history.
You have a weird designation for an airplane. Usually there are more numbers.
